# lesser-hermes

This is a merge of pre-trained language models created using [mergekit](https://github.com/cg123/mergekit).  We've been using this as one of the experimental ingredients to help stabilize the monkey-typewriter merges, and it's kinda okay at that.

## Merge Details
### Merge Method

This model was merged using the [DARE](https://arxiv.org/abs/2311.03099) [TIES](https://arxiv.org/abs/2306.01708) merge method using [mistralai/Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct-v0.1](https://huggingface.co/mistralai/Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct-v0.1) as a base.

### Models Merged

The following models were included in the merge:
* [NousResearch/Nous-Hermes-2-Mixtral-8x7B-DPO](https://huggingface.co/NousResearch/Nous-Hermes-2-Mixtral-8x7B-DPO)

### Configuration

The following YAML configuration was used to produce this model:
